How to get Glintstone Whetblade in Elden Ring

There are a number of upgrades players will find in Elden Ring as they explore the world, but only items like the Glintstone Whetblade will allow for greater affinity selection on a particular weapon. Players can find a handful of Whetblades around the game, and the Glinstone version is probably the second one to come across.

The first Whetblade can be found in ruins outside the Stormgate entrance very early in the game. This blade generally allows use of Ashes of War, but any next Whetblade players may find in the future will allow more affinity customization overall.

Where to find the Glintstone Whetblade in Elden Ring?

Those wishing to access the Glintstone Whetblade will need to head to Liurnia, the Academy area, in the Elden Ring. Raya Lucaria Academy and its surroundings are filled with magical items for almost any class. In this Whetblade case, players looking to add Frost or Magic affinity to their weapons will need to look for this essential item in the massive Academy.

Looking for the Glintstone Whetblade:

• This item is located in the Raya Lucaria Academy in Liurnia, in the center of the lake.
• Players will need to outrun Radagon's Red Wolf and claim the lost grace space in that hall.
• From this lost grace, from the Debate Hall, players can exit and go to the stairs on the left.
• Take out the mages that will spam the surrounding enchantment and go to the room just below the balcony with a mage inside.
• In a courtyard-facing trunk, the Whetblade will be open for purchase.

Whetblade cannot be used alone, of course, and players will need to return to the Blacksmith in the Roundtable Warehouse to use the item.

What does the Glintstone Whetblade do in Elden Ring?

After the first Whetblade was earned in Limgrave, there are several more versions that players can collect around the world. Each will allow players to add new affinities to their weapons, such as Frost and Magic, that can change the scaling or damage type.

Another example of a Whetblade is the Black Whetblade found on Nokron. Instead of Frost or Magic, this key item will allow affinities based on blood and poison. If players want every option available, they will need every Whetblade in the Elden Ring.
